   The heaviest philosophical theme of the movie is Identity and Philosophy of Mind, which in my opinion it mixes very well with Existentialism without getting lost in the rabbit hole.

   Should philosophers celebrate films?

   • For the philosophers who are celebrating films, there is much to celebrate.
